Spells

Spells are cast with the Arcane Focus (/spells focus): right-click casts the selected spell, sneak and right-click selects the next one. /spells opens your loadouts, every spell and the boss prep. Spells only ever hit hostile monsters and bosses, never players, and nothing can be cast while you are combat-tagged by another player.

Everyone has 2 spell slots; more come with ranks: slot 3: Blossom rank, slot 4: Ethereal rank, slot 5: Arcadian rank (at most 5).

A loadout holds at most 3 damage, 1 mobility, 2 defensive, 2 support, 2 utility spells.
